Natalie Ramon 's Bio

Edit your user passions

I'm a Utah native. I love it here! I dabble in a lot of outdoor activities, which I do often and really enjoy, but am purely passionate about bouldering/ sport rock climbing, snowboarding and camping. My love for rock climbing is based so much on the drive to be stronger, both physically and mentally. Along with that, the reward of overcoming your fears and doubts is the most amazing feeling ever. I love that climbing is all about YOU! You don't depend on a team. You only progress as much as you push yourself and I love that challenge. That being said, I don't mind the adrenaline rush that comes along with it. Snowboarding has kept me so much more than entertained for almost 15 years now. I don't think my love for the sport will ever die. Some of the best memories of my life have been up on the mountain. Although skill is definitely a necessity when riding, having the right gear can, without a doubt, sweeten the experience so much more. Camping is so awesome! Who doesn't love being outside in the crisp mountain air, exploring the beauty that surrounds us in our mountains, eatin' some good grub made over the fire, sipping a tasty beverage and sharing the company of good friends and family?? For me, it doesn't get much better. I love talking gear and would be more than happy to guide you in the right direction of whatever your passion is/is about to become! IF YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT/INTERESETED IN GETTING INTO ANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES, FOLLOW ME! YOU CAN ALSO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AT 1-800-409-4502 EXT. 4350. MY HOURS IN THE OFFICE ARE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY 8:30AM – 5:00PM MST.

I bought these to pair with the Ruffwear Bark'n Boots Grip Trex - Set of 4 (item #RUF0070) I bought for my dog. The booties themselves put together well, but I felt like they may cause some hots spots/blisters so I bought these for extra cushion/preventative measure. I'm glad I did. Having paired the two together, Rufus has never had a blister after wearing the booties.

I bought these for my 6 year old Skye Terrier Rufus. We take him out with us climbing and hiking often. Sometimes the terrain can be really rocky and sharp. That is exactly the reason I thought I'd give these booties a try. Rufus' pads get torn so often so we needed to do something different. I went by the sizing chart on these and, first try, got the sizing perfect. I also invested in the Bark n' Boot Liners by Ruffwear (item #RUF000O) to prevent blisters and chaffing. Together, went put on and tightened properly, they don't come off and they stay in place perfectly. Go by the sizing chart and you can't get it wrong! And, most importantly, don't forget to film your dog the first time you put them on him/her!

Modest and sexy at the same time! I love how this shirt feels against my skin. It is so smooth against my skin. The fabric has just the right amount of stretch to it. My movement never feels restricted. Although, I would not personally use this piece for yoga as it is not as long as I would prefer. I do not feel that the bottom of the shirt would stay in place while inverted, which would bother me. The shirt certainly feels like it is made well, but I think $50 is a little steep for what you're getting. Even though you can see though the mesh-style material on the back of the shirt, it is not overkill. It is very subtle, especially with the wrinkles in the shirt.

One other point I'd like to touch on is the neckline of this piece. I have a bigger chest (34DD) which can change the fit of a shirt entirely when compared to what it looks like on smaller chested women. The scoop neck style is not the most flattering on me. It amplified the size of my chest, which is less than desirable for me.

All in all, my experience with this shirt has been great! It's cute simple, fits true to size, hangs nice and is very soft to the touch!

I am a size 34DD. And, while the Medium fit great around my rib cage and over my shoulders, the cup area was about a size to small. That being said, it serves more as a sports-push-up bra! Super cute, but too small for me unfortunately.

This tank has a really nice long, slim-fit which I reallylike. The fabric is great against your skin and breaths well. I never feel clammy when I get sweaty in it. I have had had this tank for over a year and with washing in cold and hang-drying, it still looks brand new. Love this one!

To start off, I would never wear these Leggings to do yoga in. They are entirely too thick. And, in my opinion, they do not breathe well. I wore them indoor climbing and was uncomfortably hot and clammy. Not super stoked in that sense! On the other hand, they are exceptionally well put together. I like the feel of the material against my skin (when I’m not sweating). The seams are reinforced and I feel like they hug my body in all the right, flattering places. The waist band is wide and keeps its form really well so if you have a pooch on your tummy, you will really like how these fit over it and smooth it out. The material is really stretchy, but also really tight, so it is very flattering on, especially in the booty area! I will use these tights for cool-weather climbing and casual wear, where I am not sweating heavily. They would also work well as a base layer for skiing or snowboarding. I will say that if these tights are truly intended for the sole purpose of yoga and activity where one sweats heavily, they are not ideal. I’m not sure why that is a feature that is highlighted. I am 5’6”, 155 lbs, my waist 30”, my low waist 33”, my hips 39” and my inseam 31”. The size medium leggings fit great! I will say I was pretty stoked on the bright fun colors. They certainly help you stand out! You decide if that is a good or bad thing!

I was expecting this piece to be a lot thinner and more sheer based off of the photos. Not the case! The material is incredibly nice. There is some texture to the material which gives it a nice look. I am 5'6", 155 lbs, my chest measures 36", waist is 29" and hip is 39". I went with a size medium and it fits perfect. Very flattering!

I love this shoe! I have a mid-width forefoot, shorter toes, slightly shorter heel and mid volume foot. I am always a US women's size 8.5 and I went with the 39.0 and it fits my foot great. l never worry about my foot blowing off a hold. The rubber is incredibly sticky. They hold their shape and curvature through their life. I can attest! I definitely recommend this shoe! Awesome Italian-made shoe.. Git 'em!!

This chalk feels like silk on your skin. It is insanely fine ground and there are no chunks. I does a great job at keeping my hand sweat at bay and is perfectly gritty to help me stick holds. I definitely recommend it! I'l never buy any other chalk :)

I bought this in Catalan Coral and Black because I love the fit sooo much! I have a 34DD chest and the size medium fits perfect! I can actually go without a bra with this tank because the shelf bra is so supportive. But, the shelf bra would work for someone with a much smaller chest also as there is a lot stretch to the fabric that bounces back well. That is not something I can do with the majority of active tanks I own. The straps are super comfortable and the midsection fits in such a flattering way! I definitely recommend it to anyone!

I actually bought this biner to use on my logs leash to shorten it. Nice and small and worked perfectly. I wouldn't personally use this for climbing. It's pretty small and I don't prefer small biners on my rack.

This bowl folds up easily, is pretty burly and doesn't leak water at all. I've left water in my dogs water bowl here at work for a few days and no leakage! Cheap, gets the job done and has a nice opening for your dogs snout.

I bought this collar for my Skye Terrier and although there is absolutely nothing wrong with the collar itself, it did not work for my dog. He pulls regardless of how tight it cinches on him. A gentle leader worked better for me. All in all, the collar was made of really nice feeling material and will work for many other dogs, for sure!

I prefer twist gate biners and this one is super rad! It's nice and small so I use it with my Sterling self/anchoring system on my harness. It is small enough to fit on a chain link atop a route without taking up too much space or getting wedged in too tight. It seems like you have to twist it a few more times than your average twist gate, which may be annoying to some. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

This harness is everything I had hoped for. The stitching that holds it together is super burly. It has a good amount of padding in all the right places and for any dogs that tend to pull, the hook on the front of the chest will most certainly come in handy! I went by the sizing chart and the harness arrived and fit perfectly. Adjustability is super easy if done before you put the harness on your beast. The colors are super fun! I ordered blue and it came in the exact color pictured. I would definitely buy this harness again.

I bought this jacket for my son for winter. I was really surprised by the weight and quality considering it is just a child's jacket. It is very warm and will most certainly not be wearing out before he grows out of it. The quality is the same as you would get in a men's jacket. I definitely recommend it!

I have bought severals pairs of this sock. When the first one came, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. They were much thicker than I had pictured. In addition, they have withstood washing/drying really well. They have not balled up or lost their shape at all. The photos don't do enough justice. Get 'em!
